Mary-Kate Olsen

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have debuted their new fashion line, The Row, to a small group of fashion insiders including Carey Mulligan, Chloe Sevigny, Anna Wintour and Carine Roitfeld…

According to the AP…

The clothes were indeed quite serious — and sophisticated. The first model wore a simple black wrap coat that was belted and black trousers with flat gladiator sandals. Most of the collection was black, which has been the norm on many catwalks at New York Fashion Week.

Adding textural interest, though, has been a trick to making all the black more interesting — and the Olsens mastered it. An A-line carriage skirt in a croc pattern was worn with a slim shirt and a delicate spaghetti-strap camisole on top. Another look featured a buttery leather corset over a flowing, asymmetrical-hem dress.

The only other colors featured were a delicate winter white and an ocean blue.

The Council Of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Inducts 31 New MembersWWD – Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are expanding their fashion reach.

The sisters, entertainers and marketers almost since their infancy who last week became members of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, have signed a deal with J.C. Penney Co. Inc. to launch Olsenboye, a junior brand that will be exclusive to the chain.

The collection will have a major rollout, set for 600 Penney’s stores in February. But the company aims to generate curiosity among teens well before the launch with what amounts to a new marketing approach for the retailer built around previews, limited offerings and digital, guerrilla and viral marketing tactics.

The effort kicks off Monday with an Olsenboye truck cruising around New York selling merchandise and giving out cupcakes, balloons and pins, and empty racks in 50 high-profile stores will be covered in Olsenboye shrouds. Beginning Nov. 6, Olsenboye will be available on jcp.com and in those 50 stores, including the Manhattan flagship, for a limited time.

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen

They’ve set trends with their bold eyewear style and now Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen can step out in their own shades.

The designers are launching an eyewear collection for spring under their luxury label The Row, produced in licensed partnership with Linda Farrow Eyewear.

Retailing from $325 to $390, the collection features four styles: a classic metal aviator, an oversize square frame, vintage-inspired brow-line rims and a pair of round shades taken from the Sixties. The company declined to specify financial expectations or anticipated points of sale, noting only that it will target its current retailers, including Barneys [Wait!Theres Tons More…]

Page Six – MARY-Kate Olsen (above) has found the silver lining in the recession. A Page Six spy, who recently shared an elevator at Barneys with the diminutive actress, reports Olsen was excited about all the discounted merchandise for the taking. “It’s really sad – the recession is everywhere. But at least they are having good sales,” said Olsen, who pointed to her hat. “That’s where I got this! The recession!” Olsen ogled a $410 menorah and pillows and throws for her bed, but didn’t buy them.

From Star – After a string of failed romances, the Olsen twins have found love — but there’s no love lost between the ladies’ beaus.  Mary-Kate has been dating NYC artist Nate Lowman for a year, while Ashley has been seeing actor Justin Bartha since May. One would think things in Olsen land would be peachy keen, but it’s not because Nate and Justin can’t stand each other. Although they’re dating twins, the guys are total opposites. National Treasure star Justin comes from a hard-working family, an insider tells Star, and he finds free-spirit Nate to be a flake. Meanwhile, Nate thinks Justin is stuck-up and dull. And when the sisters brought the fellas together for a double date last month, things were bumpy — to say the least. “All their discussions end up in arguments,” says the insider. “Justin and Nate just don’t see eye-to-eye on anything.”

From Webster is My Bitch – Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are supposedly not getting along again. Apparently it has something to do with Mary Kate being such a drunken whore and Ashley not being one.

“Ashley really wants to be a respected businesswoman and be taken seriously,” says the pal. “MK does too, but she hasn’t been willing to give up her lifestyle and act like an adult for their job.”

“She asked her sister to step back from her current responsibilities until she has her personal life together.” Instead, MK will focus on their more affordable line, Elizabeth and James, for which their roles were always less hands-on. “I just see myself more as a businessperson,” Ashley says. (Source)

On the other hand, Ashley kind of sounds like a huge tight-ass. Sometimes you forget that these girls are only twenty-two. Now is the time when you should be making mistakes. Go out! Have fun! Be suspiciously involved in the death of a beloved young actor! You know, kid stuff!

More of Mary Kate at Fashion Week since Ashley never goes anywhere and gets her picture taken because she stays in playing Sudoku all night or whatever:

NY POST – MARY-Kate and Ashley Olsen always complain they want more privacy – so why are they drawing so much attention to themselves on their quiet West Village block? Residents on West 13th Street are annoyed by the tiny twins’ “military presence.” One neighbor fumed to Page Six, “They are disruptive, intrusive and totally disrespectful.” In May, The Post’s Braden Keil reported the multimillionaires were renting two floors of a brownstone on West 13th for $12,000 a month. A source reported seeing the party princesses “piling out of their gas guzzlers in their little club outfits” in the wee hours.

Since then, it’s only gotten worse. One resident called the frail fashionistas “two spoiled brats” who “change the character of the neighborhood” by posting security guards outside. The goons have even rousted residents of the building from their perches on the brownstone’s stoop so the twins can climb the steps in privacy. A block resident told us two giant GMC Denali trucks are parked outside the townhouse every night, with hired muscle who keep the engines idling for hours at a time. “You would think there was a government operation going on,” the resident said.

According to reports Mary-Kate Olsen, (who, according to Forbes, splits an estimated $40 million annual income with her sister Ashley) is “burning through her money,” says Us Weekly. The magazine says that M-K has been advised to cut down on “travel, jewelry, clothes and especially security.” That said, the magazine also includes the counter-opinion of an insider who claims things are fine. “She has been focusing so much on her career and business, there hasn’t been time to spend a lot of money,” the source says.

Mary-Kate Olsen’s lawyer doesn’t know where Heath Ledger got the drugs that killed him

by Mark Park August 6, 2008 Mary-Kate Olsen

Mary-Kate Olsen’s lawyer doesn’t know where Heath Ledger got the drugs that killed him and has already provided investigators with “relevant information”. The statement was released after speculation that MK wanted prosecutors to grant her immunity before she cooperates with a federal investigation in the death of her friend, Heath. The statement reads: “Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger’s home or his body, and she does not know where he obtained them. Regarding the Government’s investigation, at Ms. Olsen’s request, we have provided the Government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger’s death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed. We don’t know the source of the information being quoted in the media regarding the Government’s inquiry, but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate.”

Mary Kate Olsen’s Hiding Something About Heath Ledger….?

by Mark Park August 4, 2008 Mary-Kate Olsen

MARY-KATE OLSEN has reportedly refused to be interviewed over the accidental drug death of her close friend HEATH LEDGER – unless she receives immunity from prosecution. Federal agents are keen to speak to Olsen – who was romantically linked to the tragic actor at the time of his death in January (08) – because she was the first person called after her masseuse discovered Ledger’s body in his New York apartment.
According to the New York Post, Olsen “has refused to speak” and her lawyer, Michael Miller, reportedly claims she won’t be interviewed “unless she gets immunity, exercising her constitutional rights”.
Miller tells the publication, “We are not going to comment on whether there is a criminal investigation.”
